Magic: The Gathering Tactics with black mana trailer

January 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The latest trailer for Sony and Wizards of the Coast’s Magic: the Gathering Tactics game keeps the focus on black mana. I’ve mixed feelings about this trailer. Does it suggest a quality game to you or does it feel a bit basic? I think it’s so hard to tell because Magic: the Gathering Tactics is […]

Rift trailer is impressive

January 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Trion have released a HD trailer of their forthcoming Rift game. It’s a MMORPG but has nothing to do with Palladium Books‘ Rifts RPG. Except. Well. There are rifts – I think the video explains it all. You get to pick sides in Rift. Play as either a Guardian or a technomagical Defiant. Rift uses […]

One Earth: Syfy and Trion in first TVMMO

January 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Syfy and Trion will be working together to produce a collaborative TV show and MMO. Syfy, as you’d expect, are doing the TV show and Trion are doing the MMO. What’s interesting about this is how the two will converge into one. The project currently has the code name “One Earth” and it seems fitting. […]

Will Benedict Cumberbatch play Omega in Doctor Who?

January 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

If you check the histories of Gallifrey they will likely say the two most important Time Lords of all time are Rassilon and Omega. Working together Omega and Rassilon brought time travel to Gallifrey. Omega’s experiments on a device known as the Hand of Omega and designed to control reactions within a star was the […]

Meekakitty’s Star Trek Girl

January 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As far as I can make up Meekakitty is one of these DIY YouTube video hosts. I quite like the idea – teens showing their talent, rather than just claiming they have it, by essentially hosting and putting together their own show. Meekakitty’s cleverly tapped into a meme of potential with her Star Trek song. […]

Robot is a film you must not let your GM watch

January 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, it may be Geek Native’s fault if your GM even knows about Robot. Back in September we posted the Robot trailer. Now we’ve got about 10 minutes of pure action goodness. Well. Of sorts! As some background, Robot aka Enthiran, is the most expensive movie ever made India. Want to suggest where it might […]

PayPal smacks down World of Warcraft cheats

January 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve not met a single World of Warcraft die-hard friend who appreciates gold sellers and buyers. However, gold selling has been a constant ever since the game kicked off. This week PayPal has started to do something about it. The eBay owned money mover has started to shutdown accounts belonging to some of the biggest […]

Halo Grunts made from LEGO

January 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I think the Grunts in Halo are kinda cute. Sure, they’re often trying to shoot you and they can get in the way when you’re in a gun fight with something serious – but they’re funny. When they run a way they’re really funny. If you’re a PS3 fan and haven’t played Halo at all […]

Real life Battle Cat!

January 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you remember Battle Cat? He was He-Man‘s trusty green steed. A green and yellow tiger! What an awesome idea. Before the transform he was a much smaller cat, with much less battle, known as Cringer. Does anyone know who created Battle Cat? Some nameless hero geek native from Mattel, perhaps? I know who created […]

Check out the new Thundercats

January 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We have an official image of the new Thundercats. It follows on the heels of a leaked image. The anime version (so suggests some official PR) will be coming to cartoon Network in the States. The rest of the world, hopefully, won’t be left out. Sam Register is the exec producer. He did Teen Titans, […]
